The princess's hiking wardrobe

The shirt pictured here is what I wore hiking last summer. My friend from work found this hilarious, especially as it was paired with dangly gold earrings. I see nothing wrong with this as a hiking wardrobe. I mean I wore running shoes, not heals. But just because I'm in the woods, doesn't mean I have to start wearing a flannel plaid shirt. The top pictures are from a trip the Grumpy Danish and I took last summer. We spent a weekend in a town called Owen Sound, which is actually where I was born. There's some really beautiful waterfalls and forrests in the area that are great for hiking. The first day I was running through the woods and leaping from rock to rock like a little billy goat. I was feeling great, so alive. lol, the next day I woke up and was barely able to walk. I may of overdone it a little bit. I also got barely any sleep. We decided it would be funny to stay in the sleaziest motel possible. It wasn't quite as funny at 4 am when our neighbours for the night were still drinking and LOUDLY partying. (although it was kinda funny when I grossed out the Grumpy Danish by wondering out loud if hookers had previously used our bed) The next morning when checking out we decided we needed to get my picture on the lovely bear outside the motel. Climbing ontop was quite the feat, especially considoring how sore I was. Unfotuntely the only photo I could find of me wearing my lovley hiking shirt also nicely highlights my severe need for a dye job, lol, so please don't spend too much time looking at that picture. The pictures at the bottom were taken yesterday. After getting home from shopping I changed into jeans. You're getting a rare glimpse of the royal family. Pictured with me are my mom and my brother and in one picture my grandma. I'll be back tomorrow to post my outift from today, plus some of my shopping finds! Be sure to check out my post below for my Saturday afternoon shopping outfit, just posted today too. (outfit here wasn't terribly exciting, so I didn't list where the items are from, if you're curious about anything, just leave a comment)

Who else but you is wearing full makeup to hike??!!- LOL. You look great- I hope the wildlife appreciated it. I had a similar nasty motel experience in Jamaica- it was 15 dollars a night and 20 feet from the beach. We woke up in the middle of the night covered in ants.
